This would also cut down on snipers sitting in their redline and firing across the map with relative safety. Hell, wasn't this (hiding in the redline) the exact reason Rail turrets for nerf'd?
no.
what would be the point of reducing their range without first including new vantages?
at least the op was honest in his approach- i don't like snipers so please remove them... see honest.
symbiotic is right that if snipers were more viable(/when they are) they will be more active.
having them will make more of a difference.
to be honest both his and my stats will probably go down in pub matches because less players will ignore snipers and are more likely to hunt the likes of us down. but when they don't our teams will be much better off.
also there are alot of players at the moment that don't really know what they are doing yet, it's highly unlikely that they would do any better in map.
gauging all snipers on the worst examples is not really a fair representation.

Snipers don't need a range reduction.....or there's no point to calling them sniper rifles, they do need either a headshot damage buff or higher alpha though, not a huge amount, just a little bump.
indeed just the other day i managed 52/0 in a map where my team won on clones, all of my kills were near the objective, they weren't cherry picked as i don't believe in leaving the biggest threats alone, and that was within 250 meters.
but on a wider map where the enemy could move around more with this new scope it wouldn't happen. because moving headshots are guesswork.
the 2nd player howdidhekillme had in the high twenties, after the two of us there were no other particularly impressive performances and the blues didn't capture the point.
but sure yeah ok.. snipers don't contribute  |

Snipers killing me aren't what I'm mad about. I'm mad about people not wanting to participate in matches. I don't know you, you can hate me. Just as you've admitting sniping isn't good for anything but making matches boring. People get fed up of being stomped by 6 man corp squads so they gradually spend the whole game retreating till they get their backs against the wall. I spend alot of the game pushing, but me too after a certain point, ill say **** it and grab a sniper and play defensive from the red line. What choice to I have? I cant afford to constantly lose suits. Once ive lost my acceptable limit, then all I care about is the clock running down. Im not a damn charity.
unfortunately this is one of our main problems.
your choices are limited i'm affraid they are:
go red line sniping. which does increase the problem
run free suits, if your already being killed to that extent it won't matter about using worse gear. (unless you care about kdr)
or leave battle and try to find a better match.
i don't blame you for doing any of the above, though the most acceptable to the dust community is i'm sure the 2nd. if that seems to you like they won't be happy unless you stand there like cannon fodder and keep on doing it then your probably right.

Some people run pubs to make money.. (imagine that) but they sacrifice survivability in doing so..
I run proto in pubs, because I have enormous sums of money collecting dust.

Besides if you want to snipe and do well there isn't much choice. |
